VS 2005 atlbase.h Compilation Error

[misu101]

Hi,

I have a VS 6 project and I am trying to compile it using VS 2005.
My program has the atlbase.h include which seems to trigger the errors.
It used to compile OK using VS 6.

The include path is:
C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/include;C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/atlmfc/include;C:/Program Files/Microsof
t Visual Studio 8/SDK/v2.0/include;C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/PlatformSDK/include; ... and other stuff

Here are the error messages:

For openers, tcsncpy_s has a second argument that is a size_t for the number of elements to copy. You are apprarently using the address of a TCHAR array in that position.

Check the function prototypes the functions in MSDN.

You need to fix the code.
